JAM ON TOAST is a selection of responses written in conversation with friends and artists about painting. The project was organized by Katie Lyle and developed from a series of studio visits between summer 2014 and summer 2015 in Toronto. Lyle’s responses have been edited in an attempt to share a voice that reflects the process of figuring something out in the studio, the same way that paintings in the studio are not the same as artwork in an exhibition or gallery setting. Thinking about studio visits as a specific view of the process of making something, and figuring something out. Finally, each artist was invited to respond to the project in whichever way they wanted. These have been included loosely as responses.

This concertina book is Eunice Luk and Alicia Nauta's second collaborative bookwork. Two moods are explored, one on each side. The 'Milk' side features shifting
hand drawn line work and collaged geometric symbols on top of a smoky grey gradient, disappearing into the paper, then reemerging. The 'Flame' side features similar
imagery and offers a parallel universe of drawings and collages combined with a yellow gradient. Can be displayed a variety of ways and considered from all angles.

Sampling from field recordings and layering arrangements from a variety of instruments, Takahashi thoughtfully crafted an inviting and vibrating instrumental record. It sounds like: A lush and misty forest, a moody evening by the creek, a dark cave lit by a single, flickering candle. It's warm and muddy but with a crisp clarity at the same time. All songs composed and performed by Masahiro Takahashi for the exhibition, ‘Inside the snail’s shell’ by Eunice Luk from November 25 - December 14, 2016 at VACANT, Tokyo. Listen to it here.

It's only five after ten is an edition of fired earthenware sculptures forever stuck in time.
This hand built edition depicts a time of 'five after ten' - without the indication of AM or PM.
The morning is almost over, midnight is around the corner. The clocks motivate users to
use their time wisely and mentally encourage productivity. A perfect companion at the studio.
